Going crazy here today, anyone else?

I had bought some calendars last month for 2011 and now I can't find them. I remember putting them away saying that is a good spot for them, must of been as they are lost.

Makes me so mad when I do stupid things like this.

It is cold in central Indiana today about 25 degrees and yes we are getting snow today. Snow, Snow go away!

Sounds like me the other day when I spent several hours trying to think what happend to the timer for my outdoor animated reindeer. I'm usually so well organized. Next day I remember that last year I left it hanging on the pegboard in the garage right next to the outlet I plug the cord into. dah!

Crafty, guess what??
I had my calendar on September for 2 months!! I honestly don't know how I function here or my DH- we're both nutty lol
OH- the minute I put something in a "good" spot that's when I can't find it. :D

Hi Craftybear, Hope you find your calendars soon! Wanted to thank you for the tutorial on binding that you posted {awhile back}. I finally mastered it last night as I could {see} it being done with the video. Never could figure out that 45 degree angle and the pocket thingy you tuck the end of the binding strip into till I watched it being done. Now I can join my binding strips with that nice 45 degree angle and have the binding end in an angle thanks to you! :-D

I know why I keep losing things - I have leprechauns living in the house, and they move things around when I'm not looking.

We have a george living in our apt. and I think it's time for him to give my stuff back. He took some really pretty poinsettia fabric. I've looked everywhere for it but it's gone.

My DH was going to Lowes today and I mentioned the new filter for the frig so we are out running errands and we remember the filter but can't remember the original item to get. Duh! We still can't remember what it was.

Sadiemae 12-01-2010 03:25 PM

Glad you found them!

My co-worker has a saying that she puts stuff in a safe place-so safe she can't even remember where! We usually find whatever's missing stacked on our desks, which we never get to clear off because we are busy teaching. Yesterday she put her sunglasses in her coat pocket, then spent about an hour looking around the classroom for them. Even had the children looking! She finally found them when she put her coat on to go home.

suern3 12-01-2010 03:55 PM

LOL, my Dh and I have an on-going joke about putting things away in a "special place" and then not being able to find them!

Quit looking for them & go on about your business. They will show up when you are looking for something else! Works for me every time!

I lost two pkgs of buttons two days ago, ordered more online-then found them of course.
but that's not saying anything about all the other lost things around my house.....

B. Louise 12-01-2010 06:44 PM

I understand, Craftybear.I can't find my address book! I keep looking for other things hoping I'll find that safe spot I put it in!

Mimito2 12-01-2010 07:25 PM

I put my rotary cutter in a "safe" place when DGS moved in 3 weeks ago....now I need it and it is reeaaall safe. Guess I should ask GS where Mimi put the boo-boo maker..

I think I will go buy more of the one fabric as my sis has asked me to make an apron for her DGD before Christmas, the other piece I had no plans for but I had bought both at the same time so I know they are together hidding from me!

so glad you found them,

eiltcoq 12-02-2010 06:42 AM

Craftybear, When I get new calendars I put them under the existing calendar(if they are wall calendars). Then I know where they are!! I have a desk calendar for 2011 that I have setting on a shelf waiting for Jan. to roll around. (I have the same problem as you, also). Eiltcoq.

I wasnt able to find my broom for three days... lo and behold it was sitting next to my computer the whole time! LOL

Ditter43 12-02-2010 09:42 AM

With me, it's an every day occurrence. That's how I get my exercise, looking for things!! :lol:

Darlene ,that is so funny because I have done that so many times.LOL

JJs 12-03-2010 04:58 PM

I'm glad I'm not the only one - I'll put something in a safe place - or where I KNOW I'll remember where it is - and then can't find it for love nor money!
Sometimes it's in a very obvious place - or maybe in plain view - still can't find it....
sheesh

but if you give up and buy another, the original will leap out of it's hiding place and be "right there"!

Have you seen my oh-there-it-is?

BMP 12-03-2010 05:17 PM

I havent found my double sided magnet wreath holder for my front door yet. I saw it early fall when we were doing some work on the LR and I placed it somewhere so I would have it for the front door. I have looked everywhere I might have put it and its still missing. I will probably find it when its time to put everything away...
